    You may want to upgrade to a more current version of Apache as
    there have been security fixes. Current release is 2.0.49.
    If you are ussing openssl, make sure you are at the most
    recent version (0.9.7d).

    Also, if you are using Bind for DNS, which version are you at?
    Sendmail? the list goes on.

    Also, disable services that you are not using.
